I finished chemo last June and my hair is coming back well for the most part. The hair on my arms and legs hasn't made a return yet - my query is about eyebrows. I have noticeable regrowth but only a small patch on both sides nearest my nose. There are some fine light hairs but I have to use liner to give them a normal look. Are they likely to fill out in the long run?
Hi, we're all different of course, but whilst my own head hair has grown back thick and long, my body hair is sparse and a bit intermittent, which seems very odd. Hopefully yours will grow back more fully soon. Best wishes
I wish you could choose - I want my eyebrows back but hoping the leg hair doesn't return!
